Famous quotes containing the words oak, leaf and/or clusters:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“frog pond ...
a leaf falls in
without a sound”
—Bernard Lionel Einbond (b. 1937)
“Where we such clusters had,
As made us nobly wild, not mad;
And yet each verse of thine
Outdid the meat, outdid the frolic wine.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
